www.worldwatchweb.com - When it comes to precision timing on an aircraft carrier, no one is more important than the Air Boss: high above the flight deck in his eagle's nest, the Air Boss oversees all catapulting, landing and aircraft movements.
Tracking, counting down and measuring time are all vital to the many split-second decisions the Air Boss must make in directing with precision the activities on the flight deck.
Highlight of this year's new AirBoss collection are the redesigned mechanical AirBoss Mach 4 and the quartz chronograph Mach 3. Both models feature a specialty first introduced by Victorinox Swiss Army: a clockwise rotation of the movement for enhanced functionality. On the Mach 4, the small second's 5 minutes shift to 7 o'clock offers room for an oversized counter with double-sided hands.
On the Mach 3, the more radical 180 degrees rotation puts the start/stop chronograph pusher at 8 o'clock for optimal thumb operation. This high-precision chronograph also features a 60-minutes central hand in addition to the regular 60-seconds central hand, allowing instant and accurate legibility of short time measurements.
